Probably Amy Moore (1873-1950)
Daughter of Joseph Moore and Sophia Dawber.
Source: The album of Sarah Susan Copeman (1854-1925).
Studio: F. Beales, 31 High Street, Corner of West Street, Boston.
Frederick Beales was born in 1848 in Hepworth, Suffolk. He announced his arrival as a Photographer in Boston in June 1869 (Boston Guardian) and set up a studio in Trinity Street. In 1875 he moved to 31 High Street and continued at this address until at least 1894. He was retired by the time of the 1901 Census and died in Boston in 1923.
In 1877 he purchased the Patent Processes of the Autotype Company and exclusive right to them in Boston. (Boston Guardian 10 March 1877). This process was known as Chromotype, so the reference to it on this card helps to date the picture.
The child looks about 7 years old so date circa 1880, which fits with the Chromotype.
